New restrictions introduced in New York City, the most populous city in the United States, to reduce single-use plastic waste in takeout orders took effect on Monday.
Under the new rules, restaurants and delivery services in the city are not allowed to provide plastic utensils, condiment packets, napkins or extra containers in takeout and delivery orders unless customers ask for them.
The new measures, aimed at cutting down single-use plastic waste, stemmed from the "Skip the Stuff" law signed by New York Mayor Eric Adams earlier this year.
